Good evening staff,

I pray that this letter finds you doing well and staying healthy. As we continue to learn new things about our current state of affairs, I wanted to let you know that there have been a few changes to the staff letter that I sent out via Remind Sunday night. As pastor and I discern the best way for us to accomplish everything we need to do as well as keeping everyone safe we decided to split the in-service day into two days with only half the staff coming in on each day.

Please see the list below for the day and area that you have been assigned. It is our expectation that with tasks clearly defined, all staff will be able to utilize their time in the most efficient way. Please plan to work alone in your rooms, as we are following the “Less than 10” recommendation and practicing social distancing. This is our way of doing our part in keeping everyone safe.

Staff workday: 730 to 430 with a one-hour lunch. Many local restaurants are closed for indoor seating, so you may want to plan to bring your own lunch.

Thank you!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to via Remind or ask Asia to send me an email. I will be working from home as we maneuver through this conflicting time.

Please know that we are doing our best to care for our families, staff and one another as we navigate this. Please stay safe and be well!
